Communicating with Gu Yue, the Calming Pill

Despite the faint threat in Gu Yue's tone, Li Moxun's expression still did not change.

If it were someone else, he would naturally hide it, but not with Gu Yue.

First, it was because both of them had secrets. She was the Silver Dragon King, not human, while he came from another world and possessed the White King's bloodline.

Their bloodlines were different, their auras were different, and their positions were different, so as long as Li Moxun was willing, the two of them would not become enemies.

So as he looked at Gu Yue, Li Moxun's voice was quite calm.

"I just obtained a large amount of resources from the Spirit Pagoda. Those resources are quite good, but absorbing them directly would be too wasteful."

"So I'm planning to make a trip to the Tang Sect and see if I can get a decent pill furnace, then use it to refine pills."

Li Moxun did not hide anything as he spoke. After all, this was not some major matter for either of them.

And as Gu Yue listened to Li Moxun, a trace of curiosity appeared in her eyes.

"You understand the human race's pill-refining arts? That's rather uncommon. The human race's pill-refining arts were lost long ago. Even among the four great organizations, and even within the Spirit Pagoda, very few people know pill-refining techniques."

As Gu Yue spoke, she sized Li Moxun up with great interest, while Li Moxun merely glanced at her. He did not continue speaking, only stood there in silence.

Seeing Li Moxun ignore her and say nothing, a flash of annoyance passed through Gu Yue's eyes. But after only a second of hesitation, her expression became calm.

"I also need pills for my current recultivation. How about this—let's make a deal."

"I'll provide you with a portion of spiritual herbs, and in exchange, you will refine the pills I need and help me raise my strength quickly."

Gu Yue's voice was very soft. As Li Moxun listened to her, a trace of doubt appeared in his expression.

But this had nothing to do with him. Although soul beasts had already fallen into decline, this ruler of soul beasts definitely had no small number of top-tier spiritual materials on her.

This benefited Li Moxun as well. After all, when refining pills, only he himself would know how many pills he refined.

If he withheld a few for himself, that was naturally beyond reproach. So faced with such a good thing, Li Moxun did not hesitate and decisively nodded.

"Fine. But you have to tell me what kind of pill you need, so I can determine whether I can refine it. After all, there are some pills I can't refine either."

"Because many spiritual herbs have very unique properties, and there are all kinds of differences in how they're combined into pills."

"If you've decided, you can come find me tomorrow. I'll obtain spiritual herbs tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I can help you refine them."

As Li Moxun spoke, he took two steps forward. He was preparing to walk straight past Gu Yue, turn, and leave.

But seeing that Li Moxun was about to go, Gu Yue unexpectedly shifted one step to the left and once again blocked Li Moxun's path directly.

Facing the young woman's purple eyes, in Li Moxun's own eyes, within those golden pupils, there seemed to be scorching flames burning.

And sensing the hostility in Li Moxun's gaze, Gu Yue's expression still remained calm.

"All right, I lied to you earlier. What I need is a very unusual kind of pill. You can understand it as a Barrier-Breaking Pill."

"I need to break through the predicament before me... The specific effect of this kind of pill is impossible to describe."

"But I can feel that there should be something inside my body making my behavior somewhat strange."

As Gu Yue spoke, she took two steps back. She had not intended to deliberately stop Li Moxun.

But right now, this was the only opportunity she could grasp. She could feel that something was constantly affecting her reason.

This thing was very strong. When she first saw Tang Wulin, she had only been testing him, but by the second time, she had already wanted to kill Tang Wulin. Yet up to now, she still had not made a move. She did not understand what had caused this.

One had to know that she was first the Silver Dragon King, and only after that a woman. To her, becoming the Dragon God—or rather, becoming the Dragon God once more—stood above everything she supposedly cared about, even above the survival of the soul beasts.

Under such circumstances, she still could not make a move against Tang Wulin. One had to know, whether that so-called young man possessed the Golden Dragon King's bloodline or not was purely her lying to herself.

How could she possibly not know whether the other party possessed the Golden Dragon King's bloodline?

A complete Golden Dragon King aura—or rather, the Golden Dragon King's origin. As long as she devoured it, there was a high chance she could directly become a seven-colored dragon.

Under such circumstances, she still could not act, and this left Gu Yue filled with confusion.

The problem was that she could not share this confusion with Di Tian and the others, because even she herself did not know why she was doing this.

Listening to Gu Yue, Li Moxun was stunned for only an instant before he guessed Gu Yue's thoughts.

Regarding this, Li Moxun was also speechless.

He likewise did not know whether Gu Yue was being influenced or was simply love-struck, but as he gazed at the young woman's wise purple eyes, Li Moxun truly did not say anything.

Whether it was the Silver Dragon King's world-shaking wisdom or whatever else, none of it had anything to do with him.

Gu Yue's request was actually not difficult. What she needed was not some so-called pill to dispel confusion, but a kind of pill that cleared the mind and made the spirit tranquil.

Refining this kind of pill was not difficult at all. In fact, twenty thousand years ago, any random pill refiner could have easily refined it.

"A pill that steadies the mind and keeps one's temperament clear and tranquil. Go find the spiritual herbs yourself. Bring over however many you can find."

"When the time comes, I'll pick from among them and refine it."

As Li Moxun spoke, he glanced at Gu Yue. He was not particularly surprised that Gu Yue trusted him this much.

After all, no one would lack confidence toward an existence they could kill at any time with ease.

Because if Li Moxun had any bad thoughts, the current Gu Yue was capable of getting rid of him.

So Gu Yue naturally had nothing to hide in this regard, but Li Moxun did not care about any of this either.

Gu Yue was indeed capable of killing him, but she had no reason to kill him. And even if she really did make a move, he was not some fish on the chopping block to be slaughtered at will.

Li Moxun had his own methods of escaping too, so he only treated this as a transaction.

Seeing that Gu Yue no longer tried to stop him, Li Moxun calmly stepped forward. One second later, he vanished, and in the next, he appeared several hundred meters away.

Then his figure disappeared rapidly as if teleporting. After several times, he simply hailed a cab and headed toward the outskirts of the city.

Gu Yue stood where she was, watching Li Moxun's figure quickly draw away. She stood there in silence, her expression somewhat complicated.

Beside her, an illusory figure appeared. A moment later, a beautiful woman with purple hair stood there.

Looking at this woman of breathtaking beauty, Gu Yue merely glanced at her calmly.

"Go find some spiritual herbs that can calm the mind and keep the spirit clear. Not too many. One or two ten-thousand-year ones will do."

Gu Yue's voice was calm. After speaking, she turned silently and headed toward East Sea Academy, while the purple-haired woman—or rather, Zi Ji—nodded slightly, then vanished abruptly.

Elsewhere, Li Moxun, seated in his dorm room, paid no attention at all to that little interlude with Gu Yue.

He looked at the silly little figure sitting in front of him, gently patted her on the head, then took her back.

Then he sat there cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, allowing the countless streams of spiritual energy around him to pour into his body and begin helping him cultivate faster.
